Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an updated examination to address the Veteran's heart disorder, as the previous examination was deemed inadequate.
The deciding factor: The August 2019 VA examination report did not accurately reflect the Veteran's functional impairment and is therefore inadequate to rate his disorder. An updated examination is needed to correct this pre-decisional duty to assist error.
